Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to eject (unmount) a disk image
November 5th, 2007 by Kurt Wolf
I have come acros a rather annoying bug in 10.5. It seems that when a disk image (DMG) is mounted, the finder is unable to eject (dismount) the image.

UPDATE: Upgrading to 10.5.1 has resolved the issues displaying PHP pages.
